History of the vikings

Norwegian influence in the medieval times is what makes up the history of this great place. Back in the 9th century when boat building was a common job and skill everyone had. The Voyages which were taken to do trades were done on a boat called the Long boat. Built with flat bottom hulls by the voyagers later to be called the "Vikings."

At first, few long distance voyages were made but as more boats were built they traveled longer distances to places such as France, Scotland and Ireland.

Dublin and Normandy were two of the many cities founded by the Vikings. Around the year 879 they found and colonized iceland which later lef to them colonizing greenland.What led to the viking dimise was internal disputes and other european countries becoming stronger.
